Dear Fellow Roboticists,
We are thrilled to announce the release of the UT Campus Object Dataset
(CODa) for egocentric perception on urban-scale autonomous mobile robots.
CODa is the largest multiclass, multimodal urban mobile robotics dataset to
date, with 1.3 million 3D bounding box annotations for 53 object classes, 204
million annotated points for 24 terrain classes, and globally consistent
pseudo-ground truth poses.
CODa contains 8.5 hours of multimodal sensor data: hardware synchronized
high resolution 3D point clouds and stereo RGB cameras, RGB-D videos, and 9-DOF
IMU data. We provide 58 minutes of ground-truth annotations containing 3D
bounding box annotations with instance IDs, 3D semantic annotations for
urban terrain, and globally consistent pseudo-ground truth
localization. We repeatedly
traverse geographic locations across weather conditions and times of the
day. The CODa data collection routes include various types of environments
including large indoor atriums, busy food courts, outdoor sidewalks, and
mixed-traffic roads.
The CODa release includes the labeled multimodal dataset, pretrained 3D
object detection models, and dataset development kit.

FUNDING PROGRAMS FOR COLLABORATION
The ICSR Workshops and Tutorials are ideal venues for attendees to discuss and exchange ideas that can result into proposals that can be submitted to the programs of Qatar Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council for potential funding. Here are some of QRDI’s programs.
QATAR OPEN INNOVATION
The Qatar Open Innovation (QOI) program connects strategic entities within Qatar (Opportunity Owners), such as government agencies and large local enterprises with a global pool of innovators and technical experts. Innovators stand to obtain funding of up to USD 100,000 to develop, pilot and test their prototypes in collaboration with a strategic entity in Qatar. Through the program, innovators also gain access to new markets, and can obtain support in establishing their business in Qatar or forming official partnerships to help launch or expand their ventures.
More details here: https://connect.qrdi.org.qa/innovation/p<https://connect.qrdi.org.qa/innovation/p>
ACADEMIC RESEARCH GRANTS
ARG is designed to support investigator-led R&D aimed at generating new knowledge and furthering scientific understanding in topics broadly aligned with any of the national RDI priority areas available at (link<https://qrdi.org.qa/en-us/QRDI2030#National-Priorities>). Furthermore, it aims to enhance Qatar’s reputation and contributions to the global stock of knowledge and contribute to the enhancement of capabilities of the research talent pool. Awarded funding budgets are QAR 900,000 (USD 246,561) per year, for up to 3 years. At least 80% of the total annual budget and 65% of the effort should be expended inside Qatar.

January 8-10, 2024
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
(NEW) PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Tuesday, October 17, 2023
The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. This is the fifteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. We seek submissions of recent results with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.
SPECIAL TOPIC INVITED SESSIONS:
o Boolean and pseudo-Boolean Functions
-Organized by Endre Boros, Rutgers University, and Yves Crama, University of Liege
o Alternative Models for Fairness in AI
-Organizers: John Hooker, Tae Wan Kim, and Derek Leben, Carnegie Mellon University
o Deep Reinforcement Learning Workshop: Bridging Theory and Practice
-Organized by Abhishek Gupta, University of Washington, and Zhaorang Wang, Northwestern University
PAPER SUBMISSION:
Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link to OpenReview on the Paper Submission page of the Symposium website (https://isaim2024.cs.ou.edu/). Papers must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given there.
The new submission deadline is Tuesday, October 17, 2023 (11:59PM PDT). Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by Monday, November 13, 2023 (extended). Final versions of accepted papers, for inclusion in the conference electronic proceedings, are due by Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
Work that will have been published as of January 2024 should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. However, the ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to ISAIM can be under review at the time of submission and can be submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.
Authors of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be invited to submit full versions of their papers for inclusion in a special volume of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, published by Springer. Those invited submissions will be subject to refereeing at the usual standards of the journal, and authors will receive more details with the acceptance notice. Papers must of course be new and unpublished to be considered for the special volume.
Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the Program Committee Chairs (Claudio Gentile and Aldo Pacchiano) at the email address <isaim-l(a)lists.ou.edu>.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper submission: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 (extended)

***About HIS 2023***
------------------
Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern
artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of
the next generations of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to
Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) investigations is the awareness in the
academic communities about the necessity of the combined approaches to
solving the remaining challenging problems in artificial/computational
intelligence. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are recently getting popular
due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities
involving imprecision, uncertainty, and vagueness. HIS'23 built on the
success of the previous HIS conferences. HIS'23 is the 23rd
International conference that brings together researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence,
agents, logic programming, and several other intelligent computing
techniques. It aims to increase the awareness of the research community
about the broad spectrum of hybrid approaches. It brings together
worldwide AI researchers to present their cutting-edge results, discuss
the current trends in HIS research, and develop a collective vision of
future opportunities. Thereby helping the researchers and practitioners
establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result,
advancing the state-of-the-art of the field.
***Topics (not limited to)***
---------------------------
Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems.
Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques.
Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques.
Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization algorithms.
Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems - evolutionary
algorithms.
Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary algorithms, simulated
annealing, tabu search, GRASP etc.).
Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques.
Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis, grammatical
inference, case-based reasoning etc.
